Year after year, Bill Gaither has brought the Homecoming Tour and the Christmas music spectacular into cities worldwide. Each concert showcases gospel music’s finest talent and draws new listeners in every city. Gaither continues to be delighted by audiences’ response to the concerts, now more than 40 years after he quit his day job as a teacher: “I’ve always said it all starts with a great song, and we are fortunate that each concert includes great songs that have stood the test of time. With all the musical choices that are available now, there is still a special place for the joy and optimism that reside in Gospel music. Good news never gets old.”

Named ASCAP’s Songwriters of the Century, Bill and Gloria Gaither have written more than 700 popular gospel songs throughout their multi-decade career, including favorite standards “He Touched Me,” Because He Lives,” and “There’s Just Something About That Name.” Since 1992, when Gaither began recording the celebrated Homecoming series of DVDs and CDs, most every volume has gone gold or platinum with sales totaling approximately 100 million volumes. The programs appear regularly on television networks around the world.

For nearly half a century, Bill Gaither has been a musical trailblazer. His reputation as a performer, songwriter and mentor for newly-discovered artists is known worldwide. Whether you are a brand new fan or a longtime lover of feel-good Gospel music, don’t miss this incredible concert experience. “In times like these we must reflect on what is most important in our lives…faith, family and friends,” explains Gaither. “I invite everyone to join me and my special ‘friends’ for an uplifting musical extravaganza filled with joy, laughter, good music and great memories.”

The roster of talented “friends” taking the stage with Gaither and the Gaither Vocal Band, will include Mark Lowry, The Nelons, The Martins, Lynda Randle, Charlotte Ritchie, Gene McDonald and Kevin Williams.
